Topic: BALM-BOYETTE CLOSED! (Read 2818 times)

Just got word from the land managers at Balm-Boyette that there is a wildfire going on near the parking area and extending east to the agriculture field. (Just north of the two-track by the farmers field.) Last report it was 30 yards from the trail.

As soon as I hear that it is under control I will pass that information as well.Thanks,Garry RosseterSWAMP Club President

There was a fire by the parking area when we were leaving on Friday about 7:45pm... dont know how it got started and would have thought they had got it out... Fire Dept and forestry service were both there when we left...

As of 8:45 p.m. Sunday evening the Balm-Boyette wildfire is still burning. Fire Department and Land Manager are still on property and advise it stay closed for the next few days out of safety concerns. I will post up when it reopens.

KJ and I rode out at 8 yesterday and right off SST there was still a palm on fire (small). It looked like a controlled burn, but we didn't see anyone out there. On the way back a guy in a firemans coat told us it was a wildfire. Judging the amount of lightning we had the night before, that would be my guess for the start. I actually have video of the fire.
